@rabbriansamuel Shabbat happens every week whether we observe it or not bc God blessed the 7th day. God always shows up to meet w/ us. The only difference is whether we come or not.

@janos_gyori_ @rabbriansamuel Guess Paul was anti Christmas and Easter then. And no bdays or anniversaries either.
English

@rabbriansamuel : "Christians who do not celebrate the biblical holidays are truly missing out on the rich blessing of the olive tree they were grafted into."
Apostle Paul would correct you:
"You observe days and months and seasons and years.
I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain."
[Gal 4:10-11 NKJV]

A kid drew himself sleeping in bed between mom and dad and labeled it 'safe.'
In Japan, this exact sleeping arrangement has a name. They call it 'the river.' Mother is one bank. Father is the other. The child between them is the water. Roughly 70% of Japanese mothers sleep this way with their kids, sometimes through the teenage years. The Western model of putting a kid alone in their own bedroom is barely 200 years old. For most of human history, in most cultures still alive today, kids slept beside their parents.
James McKenna runs the Mother-Baby Behavioral Sleep Lab at Notre Dame. He spent decades watching what happens when parents and kids share a bed. The bodies sync up. Heart rates align with the parent's, breathing falls into the same rhythm, and by morning even sleep stages have started matching. The parent's body, in McKenna's words, acts as a kind of biological jumper cable for the child's.
In 2013, researchers in the Netherlands tracked 193 babies through the first year of life. They measured cortisol, the brain's main stress hormone. Babies who had spent more weeks co-sleeping in the first six months produced less cortisol under stress at 12 months. Sleeping near a parent had rewired the kid's stress system to be calmer under pressure.
Inside the kid's brain at night, the amygdala, the fear alarm, gets more sensitive as the body gets tired. Darkness makes it worse. A 2021 paper in PLoS One from Australian researchers showed that light directly suppresses amygdala activity. Lights off, alarm louder. The whole brain is wired to read 'alone in a dark room' as a threat.
Now add a parent's body to that bed. The kid's nervous system reads warm body, breathing nearby, familiar smell. The threat alarm dials down. Two parents on either side dial it down twice. The drawing is the kid's brain calculating maximum safety: I am surrounded by the people who keep me alive, and nothing can reach me without going through them first.
The arrangement in this drawing is what most of human history called 'sleeping.' Sleeping the kid alone in another room is a 200-year-old Western invention that we forgot was an invention. Every kid who has ever padded into your room at 3am and crawled into the middle of the bed is just trying to redraw the picture.

@miss_sifuna @rabbriansamuel Romans would have despised Nazarite hair as effeminate. Paul is speaking in Roman terms in Corinthians and would’ve not likely intended his statements to preclude Nazarite vows, which he participated in in Acts.
English

I have to admit, Paul's writings on head coverings and hair length in 1 Corinthians 11 has me puzzled.
Why such rules?
Do men really have to take their hats off when praying?
Do women really have to wear a head covering, otherwise shave bald?
Is long hair really disgraceful for a man?
I have to wonder if these sayings are idiomatic and we lost some context here.
Where do you land on this?

For the record, I hate using the phrase “Old Testament” to describe the books from Genesis through Malachi. I use it only for ease of reading.
The apostles never would have applied that term to the entirety of God’s Word.
In Paul's letter, “old covenant” refers specifically to the conditions of the Mosaic covenant, not to the totality of previously written Scripture.
There’s nothing ever old about the Word of God; it is eternal.

@MattWalshBlog Adults do not have a "right" to parenthood.
Children have a right to their mother and father.
Adults- order your lives accordingly.

Good. Leave nothing standing. Destroy every IRGC and police facility and every piece of their equipment. Flatten every military industrial space. And then swoop in and take ALL the oil. Iranian mullahs will never fully surrender and absolutely NEVER honor any agreement. They will use any pause in fighting to regroup and attack us, our allies and their neighbors. They are bloodthirsty savages. End them now
English

@sentdefender Apparently “everything” doesn’t include ceasing support for proxy terror groups and limiting their missile program. They’ll just rearm and violate the agreement.
English

So basically, they will develop their ballistic missile program until they cannot easily be struck and then immediately violate the agreement and resume developing nukes. 🤦♂️
OSINTdefender@sentdefender
During a phone interview earlier with Bloomberg, U.S. President Donald J. Trump said that Iran has agreed to suspend its nuclear program indefinitely, and that it will not receive any frozen funds from the United States, adding that talks over a lasting agreement will “probably” be held this weekend in Islamabad.
English

@sentdefender That’s only 11:30 Iranian time. Most Iranians go to bed well past midnight so they are good for couple more hours.

@aakashgupta The Army uses it too. Checking our email is such a long involved process of installs, permissions, and logins that America Online dialup from the 90’s would is faster.

NASA pays $100M for Microsoft 365 licensing across the agency. They standardized every system on Microsoft. They put Microsoft Surfaces on the Orion spacecraft as the crew's personal computing devices.
And the first technical crisis of humanity's return to the Moon was Reid Wiseman radioing Houston to say he has two Microsoft Outlooks and neither one works.
Mission Control's response? "With your go, we can remote in and take a look." The same exact workflow your company's IT helpdesk uses when you submit a ticket on a Monday morning. Except the user is traveling at 4,275 mph, 30,000 miles from Earth, and the Wi-Fi situation is considerably worse.
This spacecraft survived hydrogen leaks, helium leaks, a faulty heat shield, and a broken toilet. Outlook broke anyway. The toilet actually got fixed faster.
The real story here is that Microsoft has achieved something no other software company in history can claim: a support ticket from lunar transit. Their enterprise sales team should frame this. "Battle-tested in space" is a positioning statement most B2B companies would mass murder for, and Microsoft accidentally earned it because Outlook crashes everywhere, including orbit.
Outlook remains the only software in human history that performs identically whether you're in a cubicle in Redmond or aboard a spacecraft bound for the Moon. Universally, reliably broken. And we keep buying it anyway.

The Pentagon is preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran, U.S. officials tell the Washington Post, as thousands of American soldiers and Marines arrive in the Middle East for what could become a dangerous new phase of the Iran War, exposing U.S. personnel to an array of threats, including Iranian drones and missiles, ground fire and improvised explosive, should the decision to escalate by made by President Donald J. Trump.
Any potential ground operation would fall short of a full-scale invasion and could instead involve raids by a mixture of Special Operations forces and conventional infantry troops, said the officials. Options include the possible seizure of Kharg Island, a key Iranian oil export hub in the Persian Gulf, and raids into other coastal areas near the Strait of Hormuz to find and destroy weapons that can target commercial and military shipping, with one official setting the potential timeline at “a couple of months.”

I hate to tell you this, but the date of Easter is based on Jew-hatred.
The earliest Christians celebrated the resurrection in line with Passover. This is clear from early church father writings.
Even the Greek word that the KJV translates as Easter is "Pascha" (Acts 12:4), clearly Passover.
So why did the Council of Nicaea change Easter to the first Sunday after the full moon after the Spring Equinox?
Here are quotes from Constantine himself:
“And first of all, it appeared an unworthy thing that in the celebration of this most holy feast we should follow the practice of the Jews, who have impiously defiled their hands with enormous sin, and are, therefore, deservedly afflicted with blindness of soul. For we have it in our power, if we abandon their custom, to prolong the due observance of this ordinance to future ages by a truer order…”
“Let us then have nothing in common with the detestable Jewish crowd; for we have received from our Savior a different way.”
Christians ask me why I don't celebrate Resurrection Day along with the rest of Christianity.
This is why.
The good news is this year, Easter falls on the Sunday during Passover, which is a great biblical day to celebrate the resurrection, in line with the Apostles.
Consider this for next year, when the calendars diverge again.
This is not Judaizing. This is restoring.
And being honest about Christian history.

What Scriptures led me, a Jew, to believe that Jesus is the Messiah?
Part 1
Malachi 3:23–24:
Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and terrible day of Adonai. He will turn the hearts of fathers to the children, and the hearts of children to their fathers—else I will come and strike the land with utter destruction.
Judaism has long understood that Elijah will appear as a forerunner to Messiah son of David. We even sing about it during the Passover Seder.
I was always taught that when Elijah comes, and when Messiah is revealed, the result will be unmistakable: peace on earth, restoration of Israel, worldwide knowledge of God. And if that does not happen, then the Messiah has not yet come.
This is often used as a central reason why Yeshua is rejected as the Messiah... because He did not bring about the visible, national restoration described by the prophets.
But this passage challenges that assumption.
Malachi states that the redemption is conditional.
“He will turn the hearts…” — ELSE God will strike the land with utter destruction.
Malachi does not guarantee a sequence where:
1. Elijah comes (and Messiah by extension)
2. Redemption follows
Instead, the text presents a different sequence:
1. Elijah comes (and Messiah by extension)
2. The people are called to repentance
3. If they do not repent, utter destruction follows
This directly challenges the common Jewish expectation that it is impossible for Elijah to come and destruction to occur afterward.
The destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple was the greatest national catastrophe Israel has ever experienced and ever will.
Total devastation. The Temple destroyed. The land struck in a way that closely mirrors the language of this verse—utter destruction.
If 70CE was indeed the destruction that Malachi warned of, which is a very reasonable conclusion, we must therefore surmise:
1. Elijah must have already come
2. Messiah by extension must have already come
3. The call to repentance must have already gone forth
4. And that call must have been largely rejected
The end of Malachi fits the New Testament narrative very well. Elijah and Messiah have come. Their message was rejected. Devastation followed.
———
My next post will explore how the Hebrew Scriptures convinced me of the Messiah’s second coming, when all Israel will truly be saved.
The good news is that 70CE is not the end of Israel's story.

@sentdefender The Iranian gov is increasingly fractured such that various officials are acting semi autonomously. The fact that this guy isn’t aware of a request doesn’t mean a request hasn’t been made.
English

Senior Iranian official tells Drop Site News that U.S. President Trump was “not being truthful” in his post earlier on TruthSocial, announcing an additional 5-day pause on his threat to bomb Iranian energy infrastructure at the request of Iran, with the official stating: “[Trump] is not being truthful. We have not submitted any request regarding potential U.S. attacks.”
